Durham Business School

Durham Business School is a vibrant multidisciplinary business school, delivering specialist Masters programmes, MBAs and executive education to organisations and individuals. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2005, it is one of the longest established business schools in the UK and is consistently ranked among the top business education providers in Europe.

From our earliest beginnings, we have established an international reputation for our supportive style, friendly atmosphere, innovative approach to business education and enterprise development, the way we balance theory and knowledge with skills and competencies, and the excellence of our Masters programmes.

Durham Business School is an integral part of the Durham University. Established in 1832, the Durham University is the third oldest higher education institution in England after Oxford and Cambridge. The University’s excellent academic record helps it stay at the top of league tables for a broad range of graduate employment.

The Business School is located in a beautiful semi-rural location only ten minutes’ walk from Durham city centre. Durham itself is renowned for the quality of life and support it gives to participants, and the 1,000-year-old historic cathedral city provides an ‘Ivy League’ atmosphere.

Durham Business School has been granted European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation, one of the top gauges of standards in management education in Europe and beyond. The Durham MBA was re-accredited by the Association of MBAs in 2003, and is widely regarded for its quality by recruiting and sponsoring organisations. The programme is continually developed to respond to the needs of industry, commerce and the public sector. It is comprehensive in its coverage of management topics, and emphasises improving key skills and personal development.

The MBA programme is delivered in three stages: the first is a foundation to establish management knowledge and understanding, followed by the elective stage, which allows in-depth study and reflection on an important management discipline. Participants wishing to tailor their degree to a particular specialism have the opportunity to do so, whilst others can choose a generalist route. The final stage sees students completing a dissertation/project.

The finale to the programme is graduation, a gathering of successful participants, their families and friends, and members and associates of the Business School to witness and celebrate the conferring of degrees in the magnificent setting of Durham Cathedral.
